Re: NOS

[Joe Elliott <jee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Whatever happened to nitrous oxide being referred to as NOx, with the x 
being a subscript like in a chemical formula?  Is there a real reason for 
calling it NOS, or is this akin to some jackass at GM deciding that "mass 
air sensor" sounded better than the grammatically-correct "air mass sensor?"
